Happy Tuesday! 😍😍😍
 
Last night, the annual MET Gala was held in NYC, and it did not disappoint!
 
The theme of the evening was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a celebration of Black dandyism and the influence of Black style in fashion history.
 
And Black Hollywood absolutely showed up and showed out, highlighting an array of Black designers and historical Black fashion trends. πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
 
For the first time, I actually watched the red carpet show (hosted by E! News) in its ENTIRETY!
 
My TOP THREE looks of the evening are as follows:
 
1) ZENDAYA πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡

 

The best look of the night was Zendaya... HANDS DOWN!
 
My goodness, her tailor-made pantsuit was nothing short of classic, sleek elegance that was CLEARLY a nod to style ICONS, Ms. Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger!
 
Zendaya's look was absolute PERFECTION!!!
 
2) NICKI MINAJ πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆ

 

My (close) second favorite look of the night was Nicki Minaj!
 
I don't follow Nicki's career, but I've never seen her so polished and REFINED! Her look fit the theme to a tee, very much reminiscent of legendary opera singer, Marian Anderson, during the Harlem Renaissance!
 
3) KEKE PALMER πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰

 

My third favorite look was Keke Palmer!
 
She looked absolutely RADIANT in her wedding gown/tuxedo ensemble! Very chic!
 
And, of course, there were several other looks that made a splash!

 

Who were your faves of the evening? What did you think of the theme?
 
Who was a HIT... and who was a MISS? πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’…
 
Check out the gallery of Black women MET Gala attendees! Your thoughts?

When a Black Woman Settles, There Will Be Consequences!
Happy Wednesday! 😍😍😍 This is why I always say that WHOM YOU PROCREATE WITH MATTERS! This is why I always say CHOOSE WELL, CHOOSE WISELY, BE SMART! This is why I always say that SETTLING FOR LESS WILL INDEED COST YOU MORE! πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’… And it's shameful, really, because Black women simply want to be loved in return for the endless amount of love that they selflessly give to everyone else... Especially b...
Inside Ashanti's Life as a Married Single Mother!
Happy Monday! 😍😍😍 Β  Remember how the Black Love brigade praised Nelly & Ashanti for β€œspinning the block” and β€œfighting for their love”? Β  Well, through the lens of their new Peacock reality show, β€œNelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together,” we get to see that none of this is a win for Black women. πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’… Β  WHY? Β  Because Ashanti’s marriage to Nelly is yet another cautionary tale that ...
